CURATION—We’ve traveled the globe and sipped thousands of brews to build our
selection of seasonal, small-batch teas and tisanes sourced direct from family farms
practicing earth-friendly growing methods. Always tasting and brewing, we are on the
lookout for the freshest most sustainable teas available. Have a suggestion? Email us
at info@samovartea.com.
CONSISTENCY—Complex flavor, nuanced aroma, and robust mouth-feel are the
hallmarks of a quality tea. To create the resonating flavors we love, leaves must be
consistent in size, shape, and color. This is only possible with tea that has been handpicked with precision and then processed by masters of the craft. Whenever you drink
tea, look for consistent leaves.
PATIENCE—Great teas have “patience”, serving up cup after cup of flavorful and

CAFFEINE—Low
ORIGIN—Hubei, China

Chinese green tea and then removed – imparting only their aroma.

SHIBUMI MATCHA
Green Tea
CAFFEINE—Medium-High
ORIGIN—Uji, Japan
FLAVOR NOTES—Notes of sushi rice, Japanese sweet potato, chlorophyll.
INGREDIENTS—Stone-milled, shade grown, Japanese green tea powder.
PROCESSING—Shading the tea bushes allows only 10% of the sunlight to enter the slowly
growing plants, increasing chlorophyll concentration, sweetness, and caffeine. Hand-scissoring
(not machine), deveining the leaves, and granite-milling (not ceramic) yield a deep, creamy,
extremely fine vivid green matcha.
WHY— Our match is slow to grow, slow to harvest, and slow to mill, revealing an ultra creamy,
deep, sweet brew. With matcha you’re literally “eating” the tea as the fine particles float in your
brew, giving you health benefits, and energizing caffeine. Packed at the farm in small 20 gram
bags (.7 ounce).

ORIGIN—Uji, Japan
FLAVOR NOTES—Super umami and rich grassy sweet creaminess.
INGREDIENTS—Stone-milled, shade grown, Japanese green tea powder.
PROCESSING—Ceremonial grade, more selective leaf quality and limited in production.
WHY—If you like matcha and want to graduate to one of the top matchas in America, the Super
Uji is for you. We don’t even sell this in our lounges, as it’s reserved for the select few who love
matcha and need the confidence that they’ve found the absolute best. Packed at the farm in
small 20 gram bags (.7 ounce).

WHY—Very elegant, succulent, and clean. A classic Japanese green tea that is pure joy.
L-theanine, that naturally occurring mood booster your brain releases in yoga class is known to
occur in the best Japanese green teas, making this tea taste and feel so good. Packed at the
farm in small, 50 gram (2 ounce) bags. Be mindful when brewing this to use lower temperature
water, to prevent scalding the leaves.

umami.

consuming to make, this tea yields the one of the highest umami flavors out there, as well as
providing extreme amounts of L-theanine (which is known to product feelings of focus and well
being). Packed at the farm in small, 50 gram (2 ounce) bags. Be mindful when brewing this to
use lower temperature water, to prevent scalding the leaves.

Mountain in Guangdong, China. The most vivid and pronounced fruit and sweet honey aromas

beginners, this tea is good for many infusions, each evolving with complex stone fruit, muscatel,

crafting is good because it ensures well rounded bio-diversity, and support of these indigenous
people who have made tea their life.

MASALA CHAI
Black Tea
CAFFEINE—High
ORIGIN—China, International.
FLAVOR NOTES—Malt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, clove.
INGREDIENTS—All organic black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, clove.
PROCESSING—Fully oxidized Chinese black tea hand blended with spices.
WHY—Everybody knows chai these days. But real chai starts with tea and dried spices, and
ends by cooking them up with milk and sugar, just like we do in our shops in San Francisco. Our
quality spices and our curing of up to six months is what makes our chai so good. Ginger: ours
grows at high mountain elevations, creating a sweet, spicy profile. Cloves: Ours are clean, bright
and floral as well as offering strong pungency. Black peppercorns: Ours have balanced heat
that melts perfectly with the ginger. But you also want a citrus kick from pepper, not pure heat.
Cardamom: Pruned by hand with machetes, not machines, ours is harvested only by hand in the
hard to reach jungles of Guatemala. Tea: We chose a black tea base that is prized for a sweet
raisin quality, and rich full mouth feel, two qualities that stand up to the intense spices use in the
blend. We crack our peppercorns and cardamom pods just prior to blending, so they slowly infuse
their aroma, flavor and heat into the rest of the blend, creating an unparalleled masala chai.

VALENCIA MUG
Brewing Accessories
This handcrafted mug took one year to create
in collaboration with Jay & Rie, artists in

of wabi sabi, elegance, and practicality. The
Valencia mug insulates the brew, keeping your
hands cool and the tea warm.
